Everyone in the capital now knew He Mei had become pregnant with an unknown man’s baby and Xia Zhe was the one who had engineered the process. He Mei was utterly and totally shamed. He had completely ruined her life.

However, He Mei only had herself to blame for this. If He Mei did not have all these crooked ideas in the first place, Xia Zhe would not have retaliated in order to protect himself and his family.

“If you want to know who the father of the child is, I’m more than happy to tell you,” Qiao Mei said as she stared at He Ning with a gleeful look.

“I’m not interested. I’ve already gotten rid of the child,” He Ning said coldly.

Qiao Mei asked curiously, “You killed the child? Tsk tsk tsk, you’re really vicious. You’re much more ruthless than Xia Zhe!”

“I’m not that heartless. That would be illegal. I just sent him away.” With that, He Ning turned around and left Qiao Mei’s house.

Qiao Mei shouted from behind He Ning, “You really don’t want to know?” “No! It won’t change the ending anyway!” He Ning said irritably.

Qiao Mei looked at He Ning’s back view and pouted. What a boring man. She had thought that he would at least make her life more interesting.

Recently, the Xia family had met with a troublesome issue that needed to be resolved as soon as possible. Feng Hua could no longer take care of three children on her own and the family would need to hire another helper. However, it was not so easy to hire one. It was really too difficult to find a good helper.

“Why don’t I stay at home and take care of the children! Now that all the factory matters have been handed over to Qian’e, I also don’t want to get involved in anything anymore. Zhang Wei and the other children spend most of their time at school and I have nothing to do, so you might as well let me take care of the children,” Li Gui said.

“Are you sure you can carry the children without hurting your waist?” Qiao Mei asked worriedly.

When Li Gui gave birth in the past, she did not manage to rest and recover properly during her confinement periods and that had left her in poor health. In the past year, Qiao Mei had finally managed to improve Li Gui l s health to some extent, but she had been unwell for such a long time that she still needed further treatment over a longer period of time.

“Don’t worry. If I don’t feel well enough, I’ll apply the medicinal wine all over

my body every day!” Li Gui said.

“Back then, when I advised you to use the medicinal wine in this way, you never listened to me! With Xia Yue around now, you’re even willing to do it voluntarily! It seems that your grandson holds more weight than whatever I say!” Qiao Mei said angrily.

Li Gui scratched her head in embarrassment and said, “l just can’t bear to use it. Two days ago, your grandfather showed me the room where you keep all the ginsengs. I always think that the supply is limited! That’s why I can’t bear to use it! Now that I know there’s a lot at home, I’ll definitely apply the medicine regularly!’

“In that case, I won’t stop you from doing it. If you’re too tired, you can just let me know. I’ll still be keeping an eye out for a suitable helper. My parents-in-law will be moving to stay near here soon. They’ll be able to come and help out then,” Qiao Mei said.

“Good, good! This way, our house will be even livelier!” Li Gui said excitedly.

Qiao Mei looked at Li Gui. There were some things which she did not know if she should say. Back then, Li Gui had wanted to buy a small house. However, now that Xu Lan, Xia Mao and Xia Jun were going to live in a standard siheyuan courtyard house, Qiao Mei felt a little uncomfortable about the fact that Li Gui was still living in that small house.

“Mom, why don’t you move to the big siheyuan courtyard house next door? The furnishings and fixtures there are better than those in your current house,” Qiao Mei said.

“l know what you’re trying to do! Don’t worry, I don’t think too much. I am happy at my current place! I can come to your house every day for my meals and it’s easy for your younger siblings to come over and play. If 1 live too far away, it’ll be inconvenient for me to come over and eat! Besides, I can buy new houses myself. I already bought two courtyard houses behind your back!” Li Gui said proudly.

“When did that happen! Why didn’t I know! Where are they located?” Qiao Mei asked in shock.

“In the east district. There are also many courtyard houses there, but the structure is not as sturdy as those here. 1 bought them because the price was low. I asked Deng Fan to renovate them and I’ve already rented them out!” Li Gui said.

Qiao Mei gave Li Gui a thumbs up. She did not expect Li Gui to have learned so much after working by her side for more than a year. She even picked up the habit of going around to buy houses..
